Image_assist is really not being that helpful! There must be an easy way to add images to a post.

Is there an easy way to add images to a post?

I've tried image_assist, image_attach, flickrstickr and more, and they all seem to be complicated, or in the case of most of them be totally broken.

Ah, image_assist. How broken you are! When I choose thumbnail, you insert nothing but a few tags. When I choose Original, you insert a thumbnail. And why, why, do you not let me just link to the original file?

All I want is to easily upload and insert inline thumbnails into a story, then have them appear full size in a lightbox when clicked on – without having to type in or alter any code. If it's possible to pull in images from Flickr to do the same thing, so much the better.

As far as I can work out, this isn't possible.

Please, please prove me wrong. There must be an easier way.
